Fated to Choose

The day has come for me to finally choose,
Whether or not I should marry my long time girlfriend.
If I wait and longer I fear I might loose,
Her, a slash through the heart I fear won’t mend.
But if it doesn’t work out, I‘d still feel the bite,
So I have to be certain, I must know for sure.
I have to see it for myself, to know if it was right,
I’ll try to travel through time to see if my future is poor.
Carefully and diligently, I create my invention,
To prove once and for all that I have irrational fears.
I enter my machine and move in the fourth dimension,
I would see how my life looks in ten years.
I arrive and begin to look for my home and family,
But the phone book has no entry with my name and address.
Then as I walk down the street and I see her suddenly,
Leaving the store with her children, no less.
So I follow them back to there suburban home,
But the mail box reads an unfamiliar name.
She married another, I lower my head and roam,
Now I know she’s not the right one, I’m grad that I came.
Now I wonder, what ever did happen to me?
I suppose I could look, it couldn’t hurt to find out.
Did I marry another or am I still free?
But my search turns up empty. What’s this all about?
I search and I ask but they all say “I don’t know,”
Then I talk to the mother of an old neighbor again.
I ask “What ever happened to that boy long ago?”
She says that she remembers that “thirty years back then
When for no reason at all, he just disappeared,
He fell off the face of the world, as if at the drop a dime”
I to the go news papers to find the truth to be weird.
It says that I went missing on the day that I traveled through time.
I return to my time where I’m procrastinating to wed,
It seems that one’s future is impossible to see.
My actions will pave the future that cannot be said
Now I know there’s no fate, it’s all up to me.
